I recommend:

A highly informative DVD, produced by Aarchive Films, called 'Yelverton to Princetown, Rails Across The Moor'. It includes old footage of the line and recollections of those who remember this beautiful railway branch. Details here.

Gerald Worth worked on the Princetown Branch line in the period up to its closure. Some of the pictures that he took of the line and the men that worked on it are here.

Images of the Princetown Branch from the Cornwall Railway Society are here.
